In Her Shoes in Armenia – Ending Violence Against Women

Through the adaptation and strategic implementation of the “In Her Shoes” toolkit, the project aims to bring about measurable change in the understanding and attitudes of community members towards Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). The project’s approach will ensure that by the end of the intervention, participants are equipped with both knowledge and practical strategies to support survivors and advocate for change within their communities.

Main Activities

  1. The contextual review and adaptation of the “In Her Shoes” toolkit to align with Armenian cultural and social dynamics.
  2. Identification and partnership with local non-governmental organisations and activists to establish a strong community presence and ensure project sustainability.
  3. Development of a detailed training plan to guide the implementation of each session, to ensure a structured and consistent approach, interactive and participatory activities, including role-playing, discussions, and scenario-based exercises, to enable participants to explore the realities of Gender-based violence (GBV) in a supportive environment.
  4. Intensive training for local trainers from each target region on the adapted “In Her Shoes” toolkit and GBV to equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to conduct toolkit-based trainings effectively in their respective communities.
  5. Forty-five interactive training sessions in Aragatsotn, Ararat, Gegharkunik, Kotayk, Vayots Dzor and Shirak regions involving 600 participants. These sessions will use the adapted “In Her Shoes” toolkit to engage participants in meaningful discussions about the nature, causes, and consequences of GBV.
  6. Following the training sessions, the project will support participants in organizing community-led engagement events to sustain momentum and promote ongoing dialogue around GBV.
